the difficult part about it is that to do it legally you have to get Honda's permission to do it

 

From what I recall, the Honda switch is/was only available for AP1s and I think it's only the OEM switch that requires Honda's approval?

I got my switch from Sensible Solutions I believe. In any event, I simply filled out the form and got authorization from the NHTSA. I don't know even remember if I needed that to order the switch, or that was only required if you were going to have someone install it?

 

Honda has nothing to do with it.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration controls air bags...

Start here.

Yea thats what I was thinking... But again I do agree with the safety issue, and I understand that its the people around me that I should worry about. so right now im looking at a rear facing seat and airbag switch. Again stated, this is a just in case situation. All great input fellas! Keep it coming. My plan is to switch up my setup of my car after the baby is born... Looking to go for a more clean JDM look.

 

Sell the s2000 and get the proper vehicle for an infant hauler. There will be plenty of time down the road to pick up another s2000. To me it wouldn't even be worth the risk.

 

Granted it's not the best vehicle for it, but it's also not the best time to be a car seller.

Do what you gotta do.

 

When is a good time to be a car seller? When do most cars appreciate in value? We're not talking about a house here. It's as good as time as any, he actually has a need for something different. If that's not the best time to get rid of a car when is? Not like he actually has to sell either, he can use the car as a trade in for a proper vehicle. Are you telling me dealers aren't looking to sell and all those low financing deals I see are my imagination?

 

Interesting, I wonder if it's a state by state thing. Before having kids I researched this for oh, 5 minutes and read a thread that said the DMV needed the manufacturer's blessing.

Either way, I agree with a couple of voices here - just get another car, do the best you can for your child's safety, always.

 

Wow that's hardcore, babyseat in a s2000?

One question though, where's the wife going to sit?

"Hey honey, I'm going to take the baby for a ride, you stay home"
